"Besides, that language started in this thread with a post to me from the guy that later got the Calculus question wrong...BTW, Calculus boy's handle is 'AdamSelene235'."

In your post #303 (removed by Moderator) you called AdamSelene235 every manner of foul name (that I won't repeat here) and for what? Here are AdamSelene235's own words to you (minus your own quotes) that you responded to so offensively in your now infamous reply...

"Coherence is mostly irrelevant to absorption. What you are looking for is a plot of atmospheric transmission as a function of wavelength. Any large college library should have it. Good night." --AdamSelene235

Alright, able Chair, where are the offensive words in AdamSelene235's post that you claimed to be responding to?

Virtually everyone responding to you here in this 500+ post thread has been uniformly courteous and attempted to help you, but you and you alone chose to be offensive in the extreme. And now you have the gall to try to foist the reasons for your nastiness off on one of the politest posters on FR?

An honorable man would hang his head in shame, but judging by your profile page, I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

That is an outright lie. You started using obscenity and responded to my technical posts with increasing levels of filthy language as I refuted your points.

Furthermore, since you at least know Beer's law you should be capable of calculating the atmospheric transmission once you know the absorption coefficient of a particular wavelength.

Given your penchant to respond to dozens of valid technical points with egomanical rants, vicious profanity and now outright lies, I would say it is safe to say you are either a disruptor or seriously mentally ill. If neither is the case, I suggest you do some serious soul searching as you are likely inflicting great suffering on anyone with the misfortune to involve themselves in your personal life.

There is a small subset of lunatics who enjoy the sciences. My advisor had numerous publications and consequently would often receive letters from ranting nutcases on obscure technical subjects like phase conjugation.

He had a brilliant solution. He would write back "I'm no longer working on that, but here is the name of someone who is" Then he would attach the name of the last raving nutter who mailed him.

ableChair, I would love to hook you up with someone else to chat with, but I'm afraid there is nobody of your caliber on FreeRepublic.

Good Day.

The post you referred to was after the initial post to me from Selene. Look at Selene's first post to me. Even when discussing THIS issue you're trying to distort the truth.

"but judging by your profile page..."

Ummm, there's nothing on my profile page.

Again, I think someone got their ego hurt and their trying to distort the truth here.
